Coquito - Traditional Recipe (Made With Egg Yolks)

Recipe #293073 | 1½ hours | 30 min prep | SERVES 16 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: BlondieItaliana

A delicious rum-infused Latino beverage enjoyed any time of year, but in particular, around the Holidays... Similar in type to egg nog, but way more delicious! This recipe comes from my husband's friend's wife, Linda. The recipe is for larger servings (party-size) so you will have to adjust for portions desired. Also, some tolerance is required as you must stir constantly over low flame as to not cook the egg yolks — also, allow time for prep. & cooling when factoring your time, other than that, the recipe is pretty easy... those are just a few cook's notes FYI.
